We have a system built in 1997 that we wish to dontate to charity. How do we wipe out all of our data? I know the best way is to reformat the C: drive and reinstall the operating system (W95). I have many disks/floppys including: Original W95 CD, original W95 flopopy with handwriting "Not Y2K version - use other floppy", floppy marked W95 Y2K Start up Disk 12-99. I can boot to DOS but don't know where to go from there. I don't need to create any partitions, just want to wipe out the hard drive and re-install W95. Please help so we can get this antique out of our closet! Thank you.
